Scott Pilgrim EX secures release date on Nintendo Switch
Thanks to a listing on the Nintendo eShop, we’ve got the release date for Scott Pilgrim EX. The game is planned for March 3, 2026.
Scott Pilgrim EX was previously announced last year. While we knew it was slated for 2026, now we have a proper date.
Here’s a full rundown of the game:
Toronto, 20XX. The city has been taken over by 3 rival gangs – the VEGANS, the ROBOTS, and the DEMONS. But who’s behind this madness? When Scott Pilgrim’s bandmates are abducted by shadowy forces, a brand-new adventure begins!
Scott Pilgrim EX is an action-adventure game where players can fight as Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers and more as they battle through the fractured time and space of Toronto. The combat gameplay is driven by instinct and improvisation – a hectic ballet of fists and flair that rewards strategy, spontaneity, and a good bit of brawling chaos. String together stylish combos, experiment with wacky weapons and unleash over-the-top special attacks. Characters can be upgraded with special badges that enhance their stats and grant special bonuses. Players will explore a whole city of interconnected levels to meet old and new faces, complete quests, and discover hidden areas. Multiplayer co-op, local or online, lets up to four players join in on the action, making it a fun, dynamic experience.
